I have a similar one (ton of them around). It rides in a toolbag in case I don't have a better/brighter light with me. Note that every time you turn it on/off, it moves to the next "setting" (bright/dim/strobe, etc.) so every 3rd/4th time it will start up in strobe mode. If this bugs you, you might want to pick a different model.

Amazon card, or log into the card issuer's "check your balance" site....I had a card I received as a rebate, went to check the remaining balance one day and found they had an option to transfer the remaining balance to your bank account.

I hate to sound snarky, but I had never heard of metrinch before, so I Googled them...so they're tools from a company whose main site has a .tv domain, the site says lifetime warranty, but they want to charge you $20 to replace the wrench? I don't think you need to debate Home Depot vs. Husky vs. Sears (yeah, my Craftsman ratchet sets are 30 years old too)...pretty much any name brand ratchet is

I have a generic one (I think it was a Groupon deal). If you want traditional fried foods to be crispy like a traditional fryer (think fries or mozzarella cheese sticks), you're going to have to introduce some oil. Spraying with canola oil cooking spray before cooking in the air fryer seems to help with the crispness.

Didn't Sony stop making computers 3-4 years ago?
Dell Outlet sells a lot of their off lease/refurbs. Micro Center tends to have lots of refurbs from Dell, HP, Lenovo if you have one in your area (or want to shop by mail order).

I had the second one on campus (the first one was in a lecture hall). The campus computer center initially screwed up and put one of the color display chips on the video board (apparently the board had to be manually upgraded from B&W to color) and the video was a 2" band down the left side of the screen.
A 13" Apple RGB screen looked huge next to the built-in 9" of a Mac SE

Bob Vila did a couple of urban renewal projects over the life of his program "Home Again." Not sure if any streaming services are currently showing the series now. I had a favorite set where he remodeled a Chicago brownstone with a carriage house in the back into two apartments and an owner's residence.
I used to watch "This Old House" and others religiously. It turned more

Another vote for Obi + Google voice. Plugged my inside wiring into the Obi box and it rings phones throughout the house. Also have the GV client on my iPhone.
One thing I didn't see discussed above...if you want E911 on the GV/Obi combo, you will have to pay some service fees. Obihai has some other enhanced services you can pay a monthly fee for if you're so inclined.

UPS did this to me about a month ago...one of our other offices shipped me two devices next-day air, commercial location to commercial location. Something happened at the UPS Nashville hub and they didn't arrive at the local depot until after the delivery truck sorting/loading was complete. So they went onto a "sort trailer". You'd think they'd be the first packages on the truck the nex

Last time they had a recall, I just discharged the old one into a large garbage bag. This time they seem to want them back (most likely for liability as GGD outlined). I literally just got back from trying to drop off (4) of them at a FedEx Office location with their prepaid labels...the people at the counter got all wide-eyed and said they could not accept them. I hate leaving stuff out on the f

Like Gareth, I was trending towards Ring's announced security system, from both a monitoring price point and features perspective. I'll give them a couple months to resolve the patent dispute with ADT before re-evaluating options.

I don't own any Sonos equipment, but had an incredibly disappointing experience helping my brother-in-law install a Playbar last weekend. They already had a Sonos unit in the kitchen and bought the Playbar to be a combo TV sound bar / room audio system.
Printed setup instructions provide no instruction other than how to mount the unit, and then direct you to use their app to configure. Failure

I have one of the 2-gallon Eagle metal cans with funnel (like bill posted above) and a 1-gallon metal can with integrated metal flex spout that I picked up from Amazon. Neither one was cheap...$30-50 each, but it's one of those "buy once, cry once" situations. The cheap plastic cans from the home improvement store have filler nozzles that fall apart after about one season, and have you

I have a Paslode cordless framing nailer and trim nailer as well. Really convenient for small/medium jobs. Also be aware that the fuel cartridges have a dated shelf life, even if not opened, and a shorter life once opened...so for the casual user, a fuel cartridge is going to last a job, not the number of nails it's rated to fire. And you'll have to replace the batteries every few years, whether

You can buy a DOCSIS 3 cable modem for less than $100 at Target (or any big box store). Even cheaper if you get a refurb online. Not sure I see the value of integrating your wireless access point with your cable modem into a single device...their standards will evolve at different rates.

I've done several winter/spring moves in the upper Midwest. Just plan that the weekend that you are unloading your truck will have ice/snow-covered access paths into the house/building. Pack accordingly...big huge boxes will probably not be your friend.
Last cross-country move I did (4 years ago), rented a 26' U-haul truck for a 1400 mile move. No real hassle to drive. Tip...U-Haul will price-

I've never seen an "airtight" window well cover. Their function is to keep leaves, rain, and snow from accumulating in the window well and having moisture seep in through the window.
For mine, two screws along the top edge into the siding and a couple rocks along the bottom edge keep the wind from moving them around, and I haven't had rodents climb in yet (as opposed to the one the s

If you can deal with a more matte finish, search some videos on spraying your car with Plasti-Dip. Was a mini-trend a couple years ago. Worst case, you can peel it off.
Thanks to those who mentioned wet sanding and spray-on clear coat. I have a window pillar on an older Jeep that I need to do that to.

I'll take a stab at a few answers:
1. He will need a Roku for each TV, unless he gets into some fancy distribution wiring. And if he goes the distribution route, all TVs would get the same signal/program at the same time.
2. No
3. I recommend that streaming boxes use wired Ethernet, rather than wireless. Others may disagree. Make sure that the Roku matches the TV input (if the TV doesn't ha
